Add gzip compression to Datasette

datasette-gzip

Add gzip compression to Datasette

Installation

Install this plugin in the same environment as Datasette.

datasette install datasette-gzip

Usage

Once installed, Datasette will obey the Accept-Encoding: header sent by browsers or other user agents and return content compressed in the most appropriate way.

This plugin is a thin wrapper for the GzipMiddleware provided by Starlette.

If you are already running Datasette behind a proxy such as Nginx or Cloudflare that applies its own compression you will not benefit from installing this plugin.

Development

To set up this plugin locally, first checkout the code. Then create a new virtual environment:

cd datasette-gzip
python3 -mvenv venv
source venv/bin/activate

Now install the dependencies and test dependencies:
